Fire at &. Gertz's House.

About a quarter past eight O'Clock yes
terday morning an alarm OF fire was
rung out from the Bell Tower, which
proved to be for fire over Mr. G. Gertz's
shoe store, Fort street Mr.. Gertz, with
his family, live over the store, and while
he and his wife were down stairs it looks
very much as if the children had got
some matches and were playing with
them, for the musquito curtain over one
of the children's beds caught on fire.
Soon other things in the room were
ignited, and the fire even communicated
to the feather beds. Plenty of water
was at hand, and by judicious use the
flames we're put out. One feather bed
was thrown out of the window on to the
street, which was white with feathers
for several hours afterwards. The stock
in the store was slightly damaged. The
loss is fully covered by insurance in the
Prussian National Insurance Company,
Of which Mr.. II. Riemenschnieder is
